Outline

Photographs of an installation showcasing 35 animations of cities from around the world, seen within the content of a fictional “Public Safety CCTV Control Room.” The stilI images of the cityscapes that are used in the animation have been created from sketches made by observing from hotel room windows in the world’s metropolises. The human presence is implied rather than seen, within a narrative that is never fully revealed.
